Let me know your thoughts.

Hi KB, thanks for posting, and keeping your finger on the pulse of all things free!

Tried out the RockRack this morning. It sounds very nice and is a good looking piece of kit as well. Unfortunately with the Demo version it appears (with the exception of the output level) that you cannot change any of the settings and are stuck with the presets as they are (Amps, fx chain, EQ, Cab, mic etc.). Not altogether a bad thing as there are 20 odd presets that should get you close to what you are after. But I would love to be able to see what can be done with some knob twirling. But at $199US it way out of my price range, but if I had the money I would certainly like to give it a try.

The other Demo I have is Amplitube. With this Demo there are less Amps, Cabs and Mics to choose from but every thing else is working and tweakable. It makes it a bit easier to get closer to a particular sound you're after, but I fear that upgrading with the near endless selection of Amps, Cabs and Mics, it could/would turn into a money pit. But I really liked their Cab emulation and how easy it is to choose cabs and mics and position those mics (graphically) exactly where you want them. Very nice.

At present I have to load IR's separately into a Cab convolution vst. My directory of IR's is currently about 30,000 files, but will be reduced to just a few hundred with some judicial editing. But at present finding that ONE special one is a real test of patience.

This is all pretty good timing for me as a few months ago I started to get my head around all the free Amps, pedals, and cab simulations out there. It was the first time I have recorded guitars directly into my computer without using any fx pedals and it has been an eye opener as to how good these things are getting. My current arsenal includes free Amps from Ignite, Poulin and Nick Crowe and IR's scoured from all corners of the internet. All of these Amps are in the same league as the commercial ones, but without the convenience of having, Pedals, Amp, Cab and mics in the one vst. But if you are like me and have lots of free time, and patience the results aren't too bad.

I'm just trying to put the final touches to what I hoped would be a quick recording to try them out, but as per usual it has turned into a painstaking endurance event. When I get it finished I'll upload it. But my guitar playing is letting me down quite badly.

cheers

Hey Rob glad you liked it. You know you can try the full working 14 day free demo. Try blending the presets on the player version on the left channel with another preset on the right channel from amplitude. You can get some great sounds. Look forward to your demo.
enthusiasm and love of guitars matters more than technical excellence here just enjoy what you do thanks again.

Hey KB how you going mate, apparently DB has a semi hollow tele worth napping ?

Hiya Woks, did you let Adam know. He's like a racehorse when the gates open when Tele are mentioned lol. What you been up to buddy.

Hey KB, yes Ads knows about the axe and sure he wants it in his collection !

been to the KL F1 GP and first time I've seen an aussie win, was so proud of Dan Riciardo !

what you been up to mate you started the number plate axe ?

Sorry for slow response Woks been busy. I imagine you had a great time at the F1 winning being big bonus too buddy.
I'm building a cigar box but not started the number plate version yet. I still have three guitars to finish.

no worries KB all good mate, glad you got 4 projects on the go, keen to see some pics of the CBG when it gets closer to finishing !

Will do Woks what you got cooking in the guitar lair.
Check out this guy called John Gomm. What do you think ?

Just a thread update, I d/l'd and registered my copy and I just got an email offering a discount from $179 down to $79 until the end of October.

If anybody thinking of buying RR, make sure you d/l the "player" first to take advantage of the discount.

Hope it worked out for you Robin.
